I really like the white dress that the girl's wearing in DG's Broken Necklace picture. It has a rather interesting arched-empire-waist thing happening. Here's a few more photos of it. ( See if you can spot part of Attention Wh*re DG in both of the photos)

Thanks for posting more photos Kessler! It's funny seeing the difference between the two. If I was anybody in the mom-n-friends photo, I could look back and think I was cool...but the ladies on your dad's side...a little too funky of fashions! Especially the matching hair-dos on your grandma and great-grandma? Lucky guys - can't go too wrong with a suit! ( unless, of course, you add a pink ruffly shirt...). I do like the subtle details on your dad's suit - the row of black buttons down the front and the red pocket-square.

I love all of these skirt-shirt-belt combos. Very do-able today. (Does the skirt look a bit high-waisted to you? Kind of hard to tell with the photo, but it looks like it ends an inch or so above the belt area)
